Psalm 106

New International Version NIV

1 Praise the LORD.Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?

3 Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.

4 Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them,

5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.

6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.

8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, to make his mighty power known.

9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.

10 He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.

11 The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.

12 Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.

13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.

14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test.

15 So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them.

16 In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.

17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.

18 Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.

19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.

20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.

21 They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

22 miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

23 So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.

24 Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.

25 They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.

26 So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

27 make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;

29 they aroused the LORD’s anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.

31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

32 By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them;

33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips.

34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.

36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.

37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods.

38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.

39 They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves.

40 Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.

41 He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power.

43 Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.

44 Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;

45 for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.

46 He caused all who held them captive to show them mercy.

47 Save us, LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.

48 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD.

Good News Translation GNT

1 Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good; his love is eternal.

2 Who can tell all the great things he has done? Who can praise him enough?

3 Happy are those who obey his commands, who always do what is right.

4 Remember me, Lord, when you help your people; include me when you save them.

5 Let me see the prosperity of your people and share in the happiness of your nation, in the glad pride of those who belong to you.

6 We have sinned as our ancestors did; we have been wicked and evil.

7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not understand God's wonderful acts; they forgot the many times he showed them his love, and they rebelled against the Almighty at the Red Sea.

8 But he saved them, as he had promised, in order to show his great power.

9 He gave a command to the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led his people across on dry land.

10 He saved them from those who hated them; he rescued them from their enemies.

11 But the water drowned their enemies; not one of them was left.

12 Then his people believed his promises and sang praises to him.

13 But they quickly forgot what he had done and acted without waiting for his advice.

14 They were filled with craving in the desert and put God to the test;

15 so he gave them what they asked for, but also sent a terrible disease among them.

16 There in the desert they were jealous of Moses and of Aaron, the Lord's holy servant.

17 Then the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan and buried Abiram and his family;

18 fire came down on their followers and burned up those wicked people.

19 They made a gold bull-calf at Sinai and worshiped that idol;

20 they exchanged the glory of God for the image of an animal that eats grass.

21 They forgot the God who had saved them by his mighty acts in Egypt.

22 What wonderful things he did there! What amazing things at the Red Sea!

23 When God said that he would destroy his people, his chosen servant, Moses, stood up against God and kept his anger from destroying them.

24 Then they rejected the pleasant land, because they did not believe God's promise.

25 They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not listen to the Lord.

26 So he gave them a solemn warning that he would make them die in the desert

27 and scatter their descendants among the heathen, letting them die in foreign countries.

28 Then at Peor, God's people joined in the worship of Baal and ate sacrifices offered to dead gods.

29 They stirred up the Lord's anger by their actions, and a terrible disease broke out among them.

30 But Phinehas stood up and punished the guilty, and the plague was stopped.

31 This has been remembered in his favor ever since and will be for all time to come.

32 At the springs of Meribah the people made the Lord angry, and Moses was in trouble on their account.

33 They made him so bitter that he spoke without stopping to think.

34 They did not kill the heathen, as the Lord had commanded them to do,

35 but they intermarried with them and adopted their pagan ways.

36 God's people worshiped idols, and this caused their destruction.

37 They offered their own sons and daughters as sacrifices to the idols of Canaan.

38 They killed those innocent children, and the land was defiled by those murders.

39 They made themselves impure by their actions and were unfaithful to God.

40 So the Lord was angry with his people; he was disgusted with them.

41 He abandoned them to the power of the heathen, and their enemies ruled over them.

42 They were oppressed by their enemies and were in complete subjection to them.

43 Many times the Lord rescued his people, but they chose to rebel against him and sank deeper into sin.

44 Yet the Lord heard them when they cried out, and he took notice of their distress.

45 For their sake he remembered his covenant, and because of his great love he relented.

46 He made all their oppressors feel sorry for them.

47 Save us, O Lord our God, and bring us back from among the nations, so that we may be thankful and praise your holy name.

48 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel; praise him now and forever! Let everyone say, "Amen!" Praise the Lord!
